A Docker image that can be deployed to an IBM z/OS® Container Extension (IBM zCX) environment in z/OS V2.4 on IBM z14™ and z15™ systems hardware is provided. You can run SMU natively on a zIIP processor in a native z/OS address space without extensive Linux skills or distributed server hardware.

Multiple TEPS/TEMS is supported. You can view consolidated event and data in SMU dashboards from up to six multiple OMEGAMON® TEPS/TEMS monitoring environments.

  • Enhancements to the authentication of the functional user ID

By specifying eez-functional-authentication = false in the System Automation End-to-End adapter configuration file, the functional user ID that is used for the SMU Automation dashboards can be defined as a non-interactive system account that does not require a password.
